Every week I will be reviewing a different beer. Reviews will include flavors, colors, prices and place of purchase among other potential descriptions. A history of the beer and brewery will also be included.

Birra Moretti was an Italian brewery founded in 1859 by Luigi Moretti. In 1996, the company was bought by Heineken. Since this acquisition, Birra Moretti has been a product under the Heineken brand. Currently, Birra Moretti beer is exported to over 40 countries in the world.

The beer itself is a pale lager, which means it is a pale light golden colored beer. Notably, the beer has a slightly bitter hop flavor, most comparably to Heineken (hence the acquisition). Birra Moretti can be purchased for around $8 at Hy-Vee.
